I had posted previously about backup copies. One approach was to use some utility to copy the first backup to a second tape. Our data center admins are concerned that almost no one wants to "support" utilities that copy their backups. Is this really an issue, or just another unsupported utility that actually works? Shouldn't any utility that can read a DAT tape read bits, and write bits, and not care at all what those bits mean to their native OS? Or am I missing something here?
